Video via Powerarchy: The Psychology of Oppression – Dr. Melanie Joy

Description

"In her new book, “Powerarchy: Understanding the Psychology of Oppression for Social Transformation,” Harvard-educated psychologist Melanie Joy examines the common underlying psychology that drives all forms of oppression -- a psychology that stems from what she calls “powerarchy.” In this compelling talk, Joy explains why we tend to think of some individuals or groups as more worthy of moral consideration--of being treated with integrity--than others, and how we can use this understanding to help create a more compassionate and just world."
